What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, is a progressive condition caused by bacteria in plaque.


When plaque isn’t consistently removed through proper oral hygiene and professional cleanings, bacteria build up, leading to infection in the gums, teeth, and eventually the supporting bone structure. It is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is linked to other health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes.


Periodontal disease progresses in three stages:


  1. Gingivitis: The earliest stage, marked by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. At this stage, the disease is reversible with proper care.
  2. Periodontitis: As the infection spreads, the gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets where bacteria can thrive. Bone and tissue supporting the teeth may also start to deteriorate.
  3. Advanced Periodontitis: Severe bone loss and deep pockets around the teeth lead to loosened teeth, and in some cases, tooth loss.
Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

Be on the lookout for these warning signs:


  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
  • Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Painful chewing
  • Pus between the teeth and gums



If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek treatment promptly.

Why Early Detection Matters

Early detection of periodontal disease is critical to minimizing damage and preventing tooth loss. By addressing gum disease in its earliest stages, we can:


  • Stop the progression of infection.
  • Preserve your natural teeth and bone structure.
  • Protect your overall health, as untreated gum disease has been linked to systemic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
How Is Periodontal Disease Treated?

At Kasey Davis Dentistry, we offer comprehensive care to manage and treat periodontal disease effectively. Treatment options include:


  • Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline and smooth the root surfaces, helping gums reattach to the teeth.
  • Antibacterial Treatments: Use of medicated rinses or localized antibiotics to reduce infection and promote healing.
  • Ongoing Maintenance: Regular periodontal maintenance visits to monitor gum health and prevent the disease from progressing.


For advanced cases, we may collaborate with specialists to ensure the best outcomes for your oral health.

Benefits of Treating Periodontal Disease
  • Improved Oral Health: Prevents further damage to teeth, gums, and bone.
  • Preserved Teeth: Reduces the risk of tooth loss caused by advanced gum disease.
  • Better Overall Health: Decreases the risks associated with systemic diseases linked to gum health.
  • Fresh Breath: Eliminates the bacteria responsible for persistent bad breath.

Kasey and her team are THE BEST. Not only is she a great dentist, she is so kind and gentle. She has had very little turnover with staff over the many years I’ve been a patient, which is a true testament to how she treats people. My kids are big fans as well!

I have been under the care of Dr. Davis for quite a while. It has always been a pleasure to visit her Office. The environment of our staff is professional and courteous and welcoming as a somewhat old-fashioned patient when I find something that is good I stick with it I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else except the office of Kasey Davis Dentistry
